Heh heh! :-)  That pretty much eliminates the approach some
of us suggested to have an in-house developer pick up Python
quickly to do the job.

(It doesn't, I think, change the fact that you shouldn't necessarily
be insisting on hiring a "Python programmer", but clearly you will
need to mention that the work will involve programming in Python...)
